I logged in using my Microsoft account and the Settings app appeared but another account couldn't open anywhere (Win+I, All Settings in action bar, control Panel). None of these steps resolved the issue.

1. Execute CMD as Administrator.
2. Run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
3. Perform sfc /scannow
4. In PowerShell: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
5. Open Regedit, navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, find the name "NoControlPanel" with value 0 and set it to 0.
6. Go to Control Panel → Troubleshooting → view all → click on Windows Store Apps

the configurations aren't restricted just to the person seen as the Admin. you definitely don't want your younger sibling Timmy altering all your settings, even though he's been granted access to your computer for playing the newest games.

There may be an issue with your user profile. You can attempt this solution. Save your files and delete the problematic account, then create a fresh local account. Log in to Microsoft with the new account. Problem resolved?

I manage an Office 365 admin account. The account was established three years ago. She needs a new laptop, but the settings aren't functioning with her account. When I log in using my own account, the settings appear to open correctly. Her Microsoft account is set as admin.
